Yulin Niang, who had already stood at the street door and looked around, finally saw Yulin's figure, and came up full of resentment that Yulin should not come back too late, and was very surprised when she saw that it was a person who was carrying it immediately, Yulin told the truth of the matter, Yulin Niang is also a kind-hearted person, and she was busy cleaning up the utility room next to Yulin's room, Yulin carried the person who was still asleep to the bed inside, and let her mother boil some rice soup and poured it down for him, and then fell asleep.

The next morning, Yulin came to see that the patient was still unconscious, so he rode out of the door, and the tiger girl naturally followed.

Since Yulin was admitted to the middle school, Yulin Niang no longer regarded Yulin as a naughty boy, and Yulin was also in charge of the money in the family, and generally did not interfere with his use. Yulin went to the street to purchase the largest batch of things in his life—water tanks, clay pots, and some rice bran, white ash and other grain storage materials, and carried them on horses and transported them to Baizhang Cliff. Then Yulin took some trouble and got these benzene weights into the cliff cave. By the time Yulin had set up the pots in a relatively dry cave, it was already noon.

After returning home, Yulin first went to see the sleeping man on the bed, Yulin Niangyan said that he had been given medicine, and also fed half a bowl of chicken soup, but he only breathed slightly, but he did not wake up, although he looked only in his twenties, his body was extremely weak, and he may get better after a few days of recuperation. Yulin heard that he was at ease, so he left for dinner.

In the afternoon, Yulin saw that the man was still asleep, so he still took the tiger girl out on horseback, and bought some rice, grain, oil and salt that were easy to store, and carried them to the Baizhang Cliff together, and after turning to the cave, he put all these into the water tank and clay the rice with felt cloth, and spread the rice bran mixed with lime on it, and then covered the rice bran with rain cloth on the rice bran, and pressed the heavy stone, and then it was enough.

When Yulin, who had been busy for a long time, came home, Yulin Niang first pointed to the utility room and said: "That person just woke up, but he couldn't get up", Yulin stepped into the room after hearing the words, and saw that the person was lying on the bed, his eyes were slightly open, but he was smiling and staring at the wooden box in his arms.

When the man saw Yulin coming in, he hurriedly moved the wooden box to the side of the bed, and said slightly: "This Xianggong is a life-saving benefactor?" ”

Yulin said: "The benefactor didn't dare to be, but it just happened that I met Brother Ren and you were fainting in the middle of the road, so I took you home for Chinese medicine. ”

The man struggled to get up and salute, but barely crawled twice, and then fell on his knees on the bed, and with his head on the bed, he made a sound of thanks.

Yulin hurriedly helped him up and said: "Brother Ren doesn't need to be polite, I, Li Yulin, as a person who reads, how can I stand by and watch when I see people in danger, if you are grateful, you should also thank that Guo Lao Langzhong, it was he who healed your life!" ”

The man said: "In the future, I will go to thank Guo Langzhong, but Mr. Li's life-saving grace is true, Mrs. Fang Cai has already told me the reason for the matter, if it weren't for your help, I, Li Xue'an, would have been afraid that there would be no bones!" "Anyway, kowtow again.

Yulin took his hand and said: "Your name is Li Xue'an, my name is Li Yulin, we are all surnamed Li, it seems that God arranged for you and me to get together, which shows that it is fate, and it is not polite, and it is important to take care of your body first." Brother Ren can live here with a relaxed heart, don't work too much, let's come to a long time, and it's not too late to talk about it in the future. After saying that, Yulin comforted again and again, and placed Li Xue'an to lie down before returning to the house to rest.

On the second day, Yulin arranged for Li Xue'an to eat porridge and medicine, and it was already past mid-afternoon, Li Xue'an leaned on the bed and talked about his affairs.

It turned out that Li Xue'an was originally a northerner, and he learned some literature and ink since he was a child, and his father was a craftsman in a government-run ordnance workshop.

Later, the court moved south, and the ordnance workshop was also forced to move to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Li Xue'an's family was also recruited by the court to move with him, but Li's father didn't want his son to become a craftsman again, so he urged him to study, but Li Xue'an was obsessed with machinery, firearms and other clever construction techniques and couldn't extricate himself.

Later, after repeated pressure from his parents, he reluctantly went to school in the Yixue, which was led by the nearby government-run shipping yamen, but after less than two years of study, not only did he not make much progress in his studies, but he did not let go of the interest in mechanical firearms, but became obsessed with shipbuilding and sailing. Only the poor parents paid for their hard work, his father beat him in anger, and Li Xue'an fled on the southbound merchant ship in anger.

Li Xue'an has been a sailor on a ship since then and has been adrift at sea for several years. After going through a lot of hardships and almost dying several times, he also increased his knowledge, learned a lot of survival skills, honed his temperament, especially in the production of firearms, he constantly improved the process methods, and absorbed some Western mechanical skills and ingenuity, and finally made major improvements in firearms. Speaking of this, Li Xue'an couldn't hide his excitement, and his gray face was slightly flushed.

Speaking of firearms, Li Xue'an beckoned Yulin to get closer with a little mystery, then took the wooden box that he regarded as a treasure beside him, looked at Yulin with a smile, took out a key from his waist, opened the lock on the wooden box, slowly lifted the lid, and then took care to turn the box around and push it in front of Yulin's eyes.

Yulin looked down and saw that there were two strange things like iron pipes in the box, coated with oil, and there were two small jars and small pockets, iron bars, rags and other things next to them. Yulin looked confused and asked, "What is this?" Li Xue'an looked at the surroundings and saw that there was no one around, lowered his voice, and said excitedly: "The assault gun I transformed!" ”
